Topic 4 KS1&2: Can we learn how to cook and enjoy a wider range of food?

YOU ARE AT: HOME » TOPIC 4 KS1&2

The key point here is to get pupils really excited about food. The range of possible activities will depend on the facilities available in school, and the willingness of parents, local chefs to come and volunteer their time.

A detailed plan is given below for the competition to create a special school menu. The following pages contain ideas for other activities. We haven’t split this section by Key Stage, as we think that children of all ages could try these activities and challenges. If this is a whole school project, why not get older children to work with younger ones on some of the activities?
